6BRA dies, Forster/Whidden ????

[Mxracer532]

Looking for a set of dies for a BRA. Not looking to break the bank on a set.
Is the Forster FL/Dasher seater good to go? Or is the Whidden 6BRA worth the extra coin???

I've got the Whidden sizing die and like it - I also use one on my 300 PRC. I used the seater for a bit before I got my arbor press, and it was good too.

As to whether it's worth the extra, I have not used the Forster so can't compare.

I know the benchrest guys use harrells or Wilson sizers for the most part. Another option is to use a dasher Sizer and have your smith cut 0.085 off the bottom? Need to check that measurement but it's close.

I picked up a custom Whidden for my 6BR (sent them 3 pieces of brass) and its the slickest die I own.

They said that they would measure my fired brass and if it was close to one of their standard dies then thats what I would get. I guess it wasn't so I got full custom.
